Who wants to test it?

EDIT: skwerl has agreed to be our victim. Thanks! We've got some other customers testing this as well. Once we've collected sufficient feedback we'll likely have them available at a nice discount for you guys!

We need one more person to beat the shit out of a new panhard we wish to put on the market. I'd prefer to work with a previous customer or someone who has donated to Bethany's cause. PM me if you're interested.

Oh really?

Really.

PM sent, Tad. Affirmative on both requirements.

Thanks for the opportunity to help out, Tad. Be sure to throw an extra sticker in the box so I can make sure all those people behind me can see it.

I'll post up in a couple weeks with more details.

I got the panhard bar today. It's a sharp looking piece and of course the packaging was perfect. Even the UPS apes couldn't hurt this one. I'll get more pictures when I install it this weekend.

Nice!

Looks nice.

So I went ahead and installed it. first thing was to remove my existing bar, which is a single adjustable I bought a couple years ago. I used it as my yardstick to set the preliminary length on the new bar.



Install was relatively straight forward. You have to unbolt the two sway bar links and drop the sway bar because the right link is blocking the panhard bar mounting bolt. Stick it in, set your length and tighten everything down. On this version the right side needs to be dropped down in order to get a wrench on the adjustment nut. This is an inconvenience I've already brought to Tad's attention.




The driver's side needs a 45 or 90 degree zerk fitting in order to be able to grease it. The passenger side is accessible with either. I installed the supplied 90 degree zerks before installation simply because I had them. They took about 3-4 pumps of synthetic grease per side. I went ahead and greased the rest of my rear suspension while I was under there.

Thanks, Brian. I'm looking forward to some feedback regarding performance.

What Brian's testing is a larger diameter, thicker walled, HD aluminum panhard. Insane strength, great anodized finish, and still lighter than stock. And the price will be extremely competitive

nice

Any word on release?

The new piece looks great but what's the word on the single-adjustable steel bar?

I've been waiting about a month now for them to become available through my regular supplier.
